Cool! I like your version too. You should do a duet with Katelyn. Are you Filipino?

[vlady1974]

Hiya Alyssa! Yeah, I'm an Aussie Filipino in London.... Mr United Nations with a Russian first name and a spanish surname. Thanks for your comments. I believe my friend SmileyKai got the honours with Katelynn. You should check him out. Also, I have another mate in the US who's amazing - Chris Cendana; his latest vid is a rockin thang, check it out!

[tehgermangirl]

Loved your version!! Awesome ^^!! I'm no expert but I love the way you play guitar!! You really put energy into the music =D Keep it up!!!

[Robnation101]

I love what you did with this song. I am going to post my own version of this song in a week or so. Let me know what you think. I value your input. You are obviously an experienced musican as I am just getting started. I appreciate any input that I can get. Your version is the best that I have seen so far.

[vlady1974]

Hey Robnation, thank you for your generous comments. I'm looking forward to hearing your version. I love helping new starters with the guitar, so I'll do my best. Thanks again!:)

[flirtysmusic]

I really liked some of the others that blended her song with theirs..but of the responses, yep ...your lyrics are the best. Browsed your other videos, Your music is great- better then trying to mesh with someone elses.. :) ♥

[vlady1974]

OMG! I really appreciate your comments Flirty! I'm glad you took the time to check out my other stuff too - which lead me to look at yours as well! Cheers!

[ShaneSimpkins]

naw, i think the 'bleeding for you' lyrics are fine, keep it as it is. Although as already said slower the tempo and you've got it :d

[JacksonGuitars87]

dude that was good man! best ive seen so far. i liked all the lyrics. except the "bleeding for you" part. change the bleeding to something else. nice work man.

[451charger]

Love the riffs, that is catchy man, nice.

[andervin]

I think your voice will blend with hers the best. . .love your verse!

[jeffjdm1]

By the way Check the one I did...

[jeffjdm1]

Excellent .... nice feel.

I would slow it down to her tepmo

She had a bit quiter feel.

[Hootsongs]

I liked the emotion...I almost clicked off this, but you got in the groove better around 1:45 and improved your performance. If you don't mind...maybe warm up a bit first? Otherwise...good emotion, and that's 90% of music. You may have added an extra beat or two after the G chord with your riff, but no biggie. Thanks for posting.

[AnimalJam]

we've got a winner! of all the Something Secret video responses this is the best one!

[iiltoxic]

excellent job, kinda sounds like a mix between George Michael & Jon Bon Jovi

although i would advise you to cut those strings, you could take an eye out with those, radio shack has some good snips for about 7 bucks

[1ace1966]

I wish I had that kind of talent.You can really play man!!!I really like the way you sound too,makes me feel the song same way she does.Good luck.

[nico3641]

Vlad you are amazing. I'm learning to play guitar and would like to know what chords are you using for this song? I think it's only 3 chords?

[vlady1974]

Hi Nico, I really appreciate your comments. I'm using the 3 chords: A, D and D/C (ie D with a C root)/ (or Csus2) as a base. At the change over, I play a bass line that accents C and G root notes.

It sounds like a few chords because of the way i play the rhythm. On the A, sometimes I pull-off and hammer on the A shape. This gives the G - A sound, but I'm still playing the A string as the bass root. (cont)

[vlady1974]

When I play the D, i strum individual strings in rhythm then play the C root before doing the change over. It's a concept I learned years ago, and was reinforced by Joe Satriani - pedal point. As long as you know the root of the base chords (A, D, C), you can add different chord fingerings over the top. This adds tension and a complexity - without being too complicated (yes, there's a difference) :D Hope that made sense. Give me a shout on idefymedia AT gmail DOT com for more guitar tips.

[nico3641]

Vlad. Not only do are you awesome on the guitar, but I'm also impressed with your business background and iDEFY concept. I'm in the middle of the Tony Robbin's Mastery University, so I appreciate your philosophy to live life with passion. Keep up the great work.

[ccendana]

I like it! :)  Sounds good man :)

[marajade619]

SO FAR YOUR THE BEST OUT OF ALL THE ONES I HAVE SEEN I HOPE YOUR CHOSEN !!! great playing great voice and your cute :P

[JustShadow]

=D

yours is my favouriteee.

good luck~!

[Sp945]

Excellent. You got my vote

[fugativemascot]

Bro... This is awesome. I really hope you get the part!

[SyLviialuvsNiCkj]

whooo boy sing it u sound amazing and u and katelynn should def do the duet together =]].

[amelielam]

you're my favourite. in all of the ones I've seen, you're the best. hope you get the part.

[LilMsDiva4u]

That was the best add-on I've seen so far. You're awesome. I thought it could've used more darkness (lol...i guess if it was a solo)...but, duets are always mushy. Anyways, you're awesome.

[insaine2k]

Very good. You have my vote, I believe both of your voices would work very well together. Keep kicking ass bro.

[lamontofnazareth]

er.... if you used a few different chord voicings on up the neck, and maybe a major7th or sustained chord, just a though

[vlady1974]

I do have another slight variation of this song. It uses an A pedal against a G-D diad 5th and 7th fret. But it sounds more A minor & doesn't honour the original work. I've kept to the original chords, although I use a G instead of the D with C bass. Anyhoo, it's her delicate rhythm playing I found difficult to duplicate: it's always hard to replicate someone else's internal rhythm and sing at the same time. p.s. "You"Tube is all about the ego! :)

[lamontofnazareth]

I personally like your self-indulgence and total ego-centrality, it reminds me of myself before I graduatued high school, not bad though, nice tone, I think It would lent to the darkness if you

[jonsan32]

I second the "holy crap... you're amazing!" from below.... and I'd like to add a strong but brief Wow.

[simondulwich]

Trim those strings, they're annoying

[vlady1974]

I know. They really are, but I've broken 3 strings twice over 6 days (yeah, LOTS of playing) and I just can't be asked cutting them anymore if they're gonna snap on me. Oh well. :D

[nico3641]

dude, you rock !

[novamarcel1]

dude!! i watched & tried to play every other reponses & even made a bit of my own but yours is the best one!

[mashikuvasi]

AWESOME....that was awesome...you play the guitar so well! and ur voice is cool....and the lyrics are great...you should totally be singing with katelin!!!

[godstour]

You are the one!!! Awsome man. She has got to pick you. Freakin AAAAAAAAAAA

[guillobuteler]

Liked it... sounded very "Bon Jovi" at times [in a cool kinda way, as in *old* JBJ].

"Bleeding for you" is... *quite dark*. The song in general isn't, all that much [dark I mean].

"The lamp's down low" <-- Very nice.

Greetings from Argentina.

[vlady1974]

Hey,

Thanks for the complement. Actually thanks to everyone who's left a comment! It's always encouraging.

I've been kind of tempted to do a "light" version or response to 'Something Secret' - the original song is such a good romantic ditty. I guess I wanted the duet bit to move from dark to light.

"The lamp's down low" is a fave blues reference of mine. There's something mysterious... and secret! about it.

[CasualDaveDotCom]

really cool, dude, dig your singing

[tecnique000]

yeah i like this it sounds great

[flcoder]

Holy crap... you're amazing!

[dovenflight]

Very good response...!! You are really good... have more??

[rconguam]

nice!
